Extracts from Malaysiakini:
Hannah defends school students over 'anti-oil palm' performance
Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh (left in photo) has sprung to the defence of the international school students who received criticism for a performance which depicted oil palm in a negative light.
"I am the MP for the area where this international school is located.
"The uproar over the video and presentation by children related to orangutans and sustainable palm oil industry is unfortunate," she said in a Facebook post today.
"The video in circulation is only a small cut of a 24-minute performance by Year 3 students (7-8 years old). The students performed this at their weekly assembly. The performance covered a wide range of issues concerning the environment from climate change, global warming, solar energy, protection of oceans, plastic use, recycling effort to preservation of orangutan, and the forest."

"I have personally watched the full video, and I am convinced that there was no agenda to undermine the government's effort to promote palm oil," said Yeoh, who is also deputy women, family and community development minister.
Her reaction contrasts starkly with fellow DAP leader, Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok, who was far from amused over the performance.
********
Hannah Yeoh has no choice but to speak up for the school as she said: I am the MP for the area where this international school is located.
Looking after Numero Uno, Hannah?
We must all support our female ministers and deputies. They are still the minority in the cabinet, but we want to see them succeed. Never mind the odd mistake, the male ministers make mistakes all the time.

ReplyDeleteTK is wise, she's not like LGE, that's why you feel upset with her!

ReplyDeleteIt's obvious she's way out of her depth in that most important portfolio.
